“I think she needs to consider her position.”

Labour MP Diane Abbot suggesting that Home Secretary Amber Rudd should quit over her department’s treatment of Windrush-generation immigrants. Many of the Caribbean immigrants, who came to the UK as children in the aftermath of WWII, have been pursued by the Home Office and threatened with deportation if they do not have paperwork to prove their residency. Some have lost their jobs and access to NHS services as a result of tightened immigration rules. Abbot has accused Rudd of withholding information about the number of people wrongly detained and deported.
